SF and MF are different animals, and both are great.  

If it real bad you can even roll on a coat of shellac or poly over the stains.

The granite counters were sealed with a water based sealant with 2-3 coats in the appropriate recommended manner per manufacturers instructions.

We had checked for building violations beforehand which turned up NIL, but ended up with $28K of violations from the Animal Services department as the previous Owner was raising and selling dogs illegally all over the city.  

It may be illegal in your neck of the woods.All tenants animals are "well trained," in their minds at least.  

Or, another type of seller is one whose house has been damaged/stunk up by animals.  

Its not up to you to prove which animal peed where.When damage exceeds security deposit, your only recourse is through small claims.

I have several rental houses and have always given them a new coat of paint (neutral color) during the initial make-ready.

I have a 4 bedroom that I have on a owner finance mortgage that I have as my homestead, I rent out 3 rooms (as I am a single man no kids no animals) the benefits are great because I can live in the property and still get a small return, anyway I have a 3 year balloon and I am coming up on 2 years in September.

If walls were painted first, the paint may become dirtied enough to look like it needs another coating; if painting after, the dust still has to come off the walls first.A great thread overall - and probably the one thread of the best quality I have read here.
